LOL! Sorry about that. I'm sure it's taken you places where you probably shouldn't have gone. I definitely have run into "iffy" situations in my truck out in the snow, where I should have probably had a snowmobile
Man you about need a snowmachine to get around in town here right now. Old pic of my little skidoo
Lol. No worries, actually I get that all the time
Here's my truck and car. ManofSteels bike's will smoke my car by the way.
Thanks, I like it and it's plentry enough speed for me. Those bikes are fast and I don't even try to race them. I'm sure it's a rush though, but being married with kids I have to watch the risks I take. Have to stick with four wheels
Some cool vehicles!!!! Love the Samurai and the Pathfinder.
Supertac - What year is your 6? Nice cars!!! I got into a little race and chase with one of those in my little German get up and go car a few years ago. Here's my current one and the river boat.....
Love the Porche OBX. It's a 2007 M6 with the V10 500hps engine. I like it until I get the bill when it's in the shop
Yeah, that's why I picked up the 2007 because they went to the V8 turbo's and paddle shifters. I like the V10 and 6 speed manual transmission better. I haven't actually tracked her yet because I went out on a drive a few months ago and had a high pressure oil hose burst in the crank case. Fried out my rod and crank shaft bearings, so it needs a engine rebuild or replacement. Tough part about these exotic "Super Cars" is that they require highly specialized mechanics and systems. I'm debating whether to rebuild the engine, but the problem is finding parts, or swapping out the engine with a low mileage one from a salvaged M5 or M6. The issue with the 2nd option is not knowing how the engine was used or if there might be something wrong with it.
I usually just go with a group of my buddies through the Gold country or up Hwy 1. Here's a lineup of some of the cars, but there's few Lambo's and Masserati's that are missing. I feel you on the "Gotta pay to play".. Get's pretty expensive sometimes and turns out my knife addiction is way cheaper..lol
My photobucket keeps freezing up, but here's about half the cars we drive around with. Some of them track their cars, but mostly the Porche's.
In our department, motorcycle organ donors are only those moving slow enough to protect their internal organs from the substantial G-forces experienced on impact. Road-kill is often no good for eating - same principle applies with organ donation. Morbid, I know. I used to commute on a bicycle when we lived within 10 miles of my workplace, but now we're some 30 miles out. none of the above deserve a photo Just drive faster
But let's be honest, ~16% of US organ donors in the past 4 decades came as a result of MVA. In 2010, 1,255 organ donors died in an MVA, of the total 32,885 MVA deaths that year. Of the 32,885 deaths, only 14% (4,502) were motorcyclists - pedestrians were 13%, pedacyclists accounted for 2%. The rest are car/truck drivers and passengers. When the calculate your risk of dying in a motorcycle crash, they do it as a proportion of miles traveled on said motorcycle - motorcycles account for only ~1% of miles driven, but what percentage do you think pedestrians make up?
Be careful out there.
Oh, and I drive a Honda Civic or a Toyota Sienna, depending on how many family members are present
